I don't mean in terms of "it was the 60s and I smoked pot, so did everyone else, and everyone listened to the same thing, and it sounded good." Or "they created a whole new genre and the kids loved it" or "he won 500 Grammys."
I'm talking in terms of sound engineering and talent, the work put into it, the polish, the technique- of any genre, is there a best? Many lists have the Beatles or some other classic rock band, but I don't know.. Their stuff is a bit too experimental and it's like they slipped their hand and called it a chord, and the rest are so generic.
The only artists I can imagine fitting the bill are maybe Stevie Wonder's, but I haven't explored music much.
I'm not asking to shit all over your top-100 lists- I want to hear some good music, but music that would sound good 600 years into the future and the past, something timelessly good.
